    Full week without betting. I am doing fine, but i can definitely say i am missing the excitment in my daily routine.With betting at least i was getting some adrenalin rush, now i feel kind of dull. I guess i have to find some hobbies that will give me some excitement, but with betting everything was just so easy. You click two buttons, you watch the game, you pop up a beer and pray for your team/player. When the game is going good you feel such a pleasure deep down inside you, like you are the smartest guy in the world, sitting in a chair, watching sport and making money.

    I am aware that these feelings are wrong, but i decided to just put my thoughts in a paper. Any suggestions for a healthy hobbies that might replace the excitement i was receiving from betting? I guess i am open to try new things now…

    I really prefer to not worry my family with my gambling problems. The truth is that i ve been hidding my demons from them for such a long time, that i am too afraid to expose the hard reality i am trapped in. 

    Another problem is that, some of my closest friends are also betting involved. We have spent so many weekends just drinking, betting and watching sports that i am pretty sure that if i want to end my betting addiction, i will have to reduce my meetings with them for some time. 

    I kind of feel like if i move out of town or even the country will help me fight my addiction. Its like i really need fresh start so maybe if i manage to collect some money in the near future i might think over that idea more serious. I can work mobile from any part of the world, all i need is a laptop and internet access, so maybe travel out of the country/town for some time will definitele benefit my situation.

    Thanks for the comments and support guys. Last few days passed pretty easy, betting a game wasn’t in my mind at all. However i have to recover $8,000 in the next 40-50 days, so i have to work my ass off… hopefully i can do it. The hard part will come if i really manage to boost my finance status in next months. With some money to my name, i hope i will actually manage to not consider betting my savings. Yesterday i watched a game just for the sake of the sport. I love all kind of sports, but i really cant remember the last time i watched any without putting my money on the risk at it…
